Due to ship this summer, the new JBL Live 3 series will come in three different styles: Beam, Buds and Flex. All of them feature a 1.45-inch LED touch display in their charging cases.
JBL introduced its $250 Tour Pro 2 earbuds, which featured a « smart » charging case with a touch display. I thought the mini display was a bit of a gimmick, but it does act as a remote for your earbuds, which can be useful at times.
Now JBL is bringing that same tricked-out charging case to its three new Live 3 earbuds: the Live Buds 3, Live Beam 3 and Live Flex 3. Though they’ll cost $200, which is pricey, that’s $50 less than what the Tour Pro 2 buds cost. JBL announced at CES 2024 that they’ll ship this summer.
Here’s a look at the three new models. As I said, they share the same case and have very similar features, including:JBL Live Beam 3
The Live Beam 3 earbuds have a noise-isolating design and look similar to the Live Buds Pro 2, which I like a lot, especially when they go on sale for $100.
